Humans to download their SOULS onto microchips so they can ‘live FOREVER’
Daily star ^ | 19th January 2019 | Matt Drake

PEOPLE will be able to download their “souls” onto microchips, implant it into another body and live forever, a technology expert has claimed.

Richard Skellett, a founder of Digital Anthropologist and an expert for Future of Work, has warned of a future in which British workers have chips inserted underneath their skin.

The process has already been trialled with company BioTeq fitting 150 implants in the UK.

And Sweden-based firm Biohax told the Sunday Telegraph that it is in discussions with several British companies about microchipping.

But as humans and machines become more in-sync, it could open up all sorts of possibilities – including being able to live forever.

The Netflix series Altered Carbon also deals with this premise.

Hollyweird has had fun with this concept many times now.

I personally hope this NEVER happens because real final death is the one thing that makes all humans equal. Something like this would be opening a Pandora box of bad consequences we can’t possibly imagine at this time.

Then there’s the soul. Would it follow the digital imprint of someone’s mind or move on at the time the original body, brain, and mind died?

It’s bad enough when the human body is extended in life via medical means when the mind has already deteriorated beyond its usefulness. When it’s time to go; it’s time to let go. (Think Ginsburg)

“I haven’t watched that one, but Altered Carbon used the same premise.”

Keanu Reeves current movie “Replicas” - exact same subject.

Not one of Reeves best.

I know a lot less complicated, and 100% guaranteed way of acquiring eternal life. Submit your life now to the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will take care of it all. Actually, we all HAVE eternal life. When you accept Christ, you guarantee Heaven, instead of the Lake of Fire. Easy choice.

Why would a soul confine itself to a chip when it can freely travel ? If you intend to imprison souls you will eventually be getting a call.

It doesn’t address the issue of the human spirit.

The old man is the soulish man.

Every human being born since the Garden of Eden has a body and a soul, but until given a regenerated human spirit, lacks fellowship with God.

Transfer of the soul to another body, simply opens that person up to demon possession, where a fallen evil spirit may now possess that body and soul.

God made man with a perfect body, soul, and spirit. Those who have faith in what Christ provided at the Cross, now are eligible for His work in us, returning us to fellowship with Him, through faith in Christ.

Absent the body, face to face with the Lord.

Now that angels have begun working the digital domain, they will attempt to replicate and substitute counterfeit solutions to avoid their prosecution and execution of their sentences. God already has a Plan for our Provision, through faith in Christ.

First they will have to find the "soul"

Both dad and niece have attended at autopsies. They both reported they never saw any place for a soul.

You memories, yes, technically you could down load them. If technology should advance that far.

But the spirit and soul?

Nope.

The Culture perfected the technique thousands of years ago ... everybody except the most daring have neural laces for backup in case something goes wrong - a rare event except in time of war.

Just download the consciousness into previously grown bodies - you pick according to preference or necessity.

The people wondering about heaven and the afterlife in the Black Mirror episode San
juniper the dying old woman refused to enter the matrix sort of for religious purposes and plus the fact her late husband refused as well for reasons we all understand.
In the end she was convinced by her lover that in fact she, the original she will still go to heaven to meet her lost husband while her copy gets to live in 80’s beach town bliss for as long as the cloud is active.
